Although researchers showed their high interest in culture of the ethnographic area of Chodsko, there have survived few reports and interpretations relating to bead embellishment of Chodsko folk costumes. Nevertheless, beadwork evolved into an absolutely original type of decorations in this region. Alongside the newer type of folk costumes, created in the second half of the 19th century in the ethnographic area of Chodsko, beaded decoration in its originality continued being used for several generations even though the function of folk costumes changed. Many-coloured beadwork made of small false garnets, rocailles and sequins in compositions completed with so-called dracoun (a metal profiled wire wound around a core of textile) or bullion created different and specific combinations and modifications of style influence, folk creativity and quite modern decorative materials both in the “lower” and “upper” villages of the ethnographic area of Chodsko.
